desertcart.com: Caterflies and Ice (Zoey and Sassafras, 4): 9781943147359: Citro, Asia, Lindsay, Marion: Books Review: A big favorite around here - The Zoey and Sassafras series has been by far the most engaging and enjoyable chapter books that we have read together so far. It features a clever, independent young girl of color, her brilliant mother, her adorable cat, and many fantastical tales that combine and cultivate a whimsical imagination and a deep love and wonder for science and all the many ways that it interweaves itself into our daily life. The books encourage exploration of the natural world around us, but they also spark imaginative play, and, of course, teach many wonderful lessons along the way. In each book, Zoey performs at least one experiment that is easily replicated at home, almost always with items you would already have around your kitchen. It’s such a fun way to bring another level of immersion and learning to these fantastic books. It has been really neat for my child to see Zoey’s experiments in action. As of writing this, we have just finished book 4 out of 6 currently published in the series. Asia Citro’s books are so well written and enjoyable that I find myself absolutely treasuring our reading time together on a whole new level whenever Zoey and Sassafras are on our reading menu. Not only have I eagerly bought the whole set—one book at a time as we finished them off—but I’ve found that my child is extra eager to dive into chapter books now. Oh—and the illustrations are ADORABLE. I can not praise these books highly enough, and I am so relieved and excited to see that she is working on a 7th book to be released later this year. Review: Good book! - A good chapter book to start reading with

Great story, great series.
My son loves the Zoey and Sassafras series. This book does not disappointment. Engaging story, delightful creatures. Includes valuable science information including lessons that we can replicate at home to reinforce the lessons. We've read this story many times already and my son still laughs every time too.

We received our book just a few days ago. My son was so excited he finished it within a few hours. He loves the Zoey books because of Sassafras (the cat). I love the Zoey books because they introduce STEM concepts in such a fun and creative way.

Perfection!
The Zoey and Sassafras series is a home-run for my 8-year old. She identifies completely with Zoey's curiosity and love of animals. The arrival of the fourth book was like a holiday in our house, and it is my daughter's favorite book so far. Please keep them coming!

Great story!
Love this series! Parent and kid approved. The story is great. The parent child relationship is supportive, trusting, and cooperative. No unnecessary drama that so many children's books at this level seem to like adding.
